But we have never really rebuilt during that time, we have just went 'all in' and 'spent the money' to lose. A rebuild would mean things like trading aging veterans to get extra draft picks, cutting or trading veterans who might have 'a year left in the tank' and taking cap hits now to reduce spending in the long run, and being actually below the next years cap while watching other teams 'make it happen' with decisions we know will come to haunt them in the long run. A rebuild would mean perhaps making a run at Arch Manning not Derek Carr or whoever is next.

If we keep doing business as usual, it will be Carr bringing in Adams this year and Adams bringing in Rodgers when that fails.

There’s a reason I put “rebuild” in quotation marks. It’s always more like rehash,
Or re-trash. As long as the Divine Lady Gayle owns this ship, we’ll be stuck in the mud, and we AINT going to see any serious “rebuild”, and I don’t really know the reason why.

I mean, the city of Green Bay owns the Packers. I don't think Gayle is out to lose, I think she is just loyal to a fault, but there are limits. I think when Gayle goes to her charity galas and notices that she is no longer the bell of ball except with the fundraisers looking for a check, that she is no longer beloved, she will demand change. Will she know the right change? Probably she will just guess. But does the city of Green Bay know the right change? At least guessing is better than Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones, or the hedge fund guy running Carolina who meddle. I don't think we can't win with Gayle I think she will just be slow to react but will eventually.
